Let's see:

1. googled for ubuntu gnome-do source
2. found it here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/gnome-do
3. extracted the archive
4. cd'd into it
5. ran ./configure, which moaned:
   configure: error: Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.
6. installed package intltool
7. reran ./configure, which moaned about:
   for LIBDO... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 gdk-2.0 gdk-x11-2.0 gtk+-2.0) were not met:
   followed by a bunch of instructions that mean nothing to me.
   Regarding those packages: glib-2.0: doesn't exist, gdk-2.0: doesn't exist, gdk-x11-2.0: doesn't exist, gtk+-2.0: doesn't exist
8. Checked the following were installed: build-essential automake checkinstall
9. googled around for a bit and randomly decided that installing libgtk2.0-dev might help.
10. Good guess! But now:
    for GCONF_SHARP_20... configure: error: Package requirements (gconf-sharp-2.0) were not met:
11. googled a bit and guessed at installing gnome-sharp2
12. Slam dunk! But now:
    for GLADE_SHARP_20... configure: error: Package requirements (glade-sharp-2.0) were not met:
13. googled quite a bit, and made another random guess at libglade2.0-cil-dev
14. It worked! But now:
    for GNOME_DESKTOP_SHARP_20... configure: error: Package requirements (gnome-desktop-sharp-2.0) were not met:
15. Installed gnome-desktop-sharp2
16. But:
    for GNOME_KEYRING_SHARP... configure: error: Package requirements (gnome-keyring-sharp-1.0) were not met
17. Really bored now. Let's go with a package that has keyring and dev in its name: libgnome-keyring1.0-cil-dev
18. Yeah, yeah. So now what:
    for MONO_ADDINS... configure: error: Package requirements (mono-addins) were not met:
19. mono-addins-utils is not it. Let's try mono-devel. Nope.
20 . Gave up. I have a life.
